Bit of a work in progress at the mo, but here are some of the key bits of info about becoming a charity (thanks for the intro bit Tori). This will be discussed later this evening, but please do have a read ahead of then if you can.

One thing we do need much better clarity on is why we actually need this for DART (you'll see this bit is very limited!) and how much of a difference it would make if we didn't get it - like are we talking all our funding (unlikely!) or is it a matter of a couple of grants?

Please do bear in mind that there is a fair bit of work involved in this and it will require and EGM (needs to be called 2 weeks before) to decide whether to become a charity and then if so, to adopt a new constitution. After EGM there is then a load of form filling and then we have to wait either 15 or 30 days depending on which bit of gov.uk info you read for the application process to conclude.

I will reiterate most of this this evening and we can discuss then so please avoid a mega discussion via email if poss - though am happy to take the odd bit of extra info direct to me (I may even have a more updated version if i get the chance).

Thanks,

Hannah
